Introduction and objectives
The paper aimed to study the relationship between self discrepancy and well-being in subjects suffering from social phobia. Previous research reveals that patients suffering from social phobia report a lower well-being and that self discrepancy have a positive correlation with well-being. So the question is which kind of self discrepancy decreases well-being through increasing social phobia.
Methods
To carry out this research 250 subjects were randomly selected based on Liebowitz’ s social phobia test given to a great number of university students. Subjects were asked to answer the tests on two domains of well-being and self discrepancy at the same time.
Results
The results showed that “actualundesired” and “actualought” self discrepancy have more considerable effects on well-being respectively. Also, the direct effect of self discrepancy on well-being is more than the direct one.
Conclusions
These finding can be significant in treating social phobia and promoting well-being.
